If I remember correctly, the great diorama master Ken Hamilton may have built that diorama.

Looks great! What method did you end up using?

I suggest a good pair of sprue cutters. They really help in separating parts from the sprue, especially the tiny parts.

Will be a nice addition to the fleet!!

Wasps. Every day, it's wasps! Tomorrow will probably be wasps.

The way that "show car shine " is reflecting everything around, it looks as though there are several shades of red on that Chevrolet.

I respectfully disagree with this concept. To me, this is saying that a fully customized 1/25 scale '58 Chevy is lumped in with an OOB(out-of-box) 1/25 scale '65 Mustang, 1/25 scale Peterbilt with trailer, 1/8 scale Jaguar XKE, and any other automobile, regardless of scale that doesn't fit a military theme. I'm assuming this would also include any full model that popped out of a 3D printer. This might seem a little more fair if all military subjects were entered into one category-Military. Submarines, battleships, tanks, half-tracks, Migs, Zeros, etc. would be a way to do it. And figures could be entered into whichever category they represent, such as a standing soldier, or bust of a soldier would go in the military category. Fantasy figures would go into Sci-Fi, Bo and Luke Duke figures would go into automotive... And are the automotive and military dioramas competing against one another? Just wondering out loud, as I actually live out of range of just about any model show or contest.

I tend to use primer for every piece in the box. Having worked in a number of automotive factory paint departments in my days as a pipefitter, I have to say that I've only ever seen gray primers and sealers applied to the bodies, no matter what color paint was to be applied. In our hobby, however, I have used black, red, white, dark gray and light gray primer, depending on how I wanted the color to stand out.

Very nice redo! Turned out well!

I go ahead and answer the easy ones. Helps make up for the hard ones I miss. Lol

Is okay. Several right answers on this one.

Pm sent.

Well, I didn't make the honors list. Hahaha I thought I had sent in the right answer. Oh well, on to #652!

Put the K-Code in the "Gotta have it" category!! Back in the late 70s I had a '65 Caliente and my bro-in-law had a '64 Comet. Not sure if it was a K-Code, but this kit will get me close!
